Environment:
Phutung, where the orphanage is located, is 9 km from the main city, Kathamandu. By taxi or car it takes 1 hour and by walking it would be 1:40 min. It is a village where all the farmers live.
The orphanage has a playground, as well as a small river within 2 minutes
walk where the kids can go swimming during the summer. There is no internet
in the village but there is phone. If volunteers wish to use internet
they will need to go into the city centre.

Our Philosophy:
The club has envisaged training the non-school-going youths in yoga and income-generating activities. Yoga may help them recover from their distressing past, whilst income-generation will support their life. The children will be encouraged to form friendships at home and abroad and they will be taught to live in harmony and peace. Willing children shall be provided with an education until 12th Grade. However, a natural home is never comparable to any other environment for a child. Hence, if family or other relatives of the children are traced, they will be rehabilitated as far as practicable.

Who do we need?
Both males and females are welcome. Those willing to stay in the home should be highly motivated to work with the children. You must present a good, moral character and respect the local culture. Volunteers can stay at the home from one week to three months.
Your job as a volunteer
Its very important that volunteers rise by 7:30 in the morning. The children view them as teachers and feel strange if they volunteers sleep in, whilst they must get up and go to school.
If possible help out at the children's local school until 3:30 pm. After school , the children and volunteers have free time until 6 pm - when they rest and play. In the evening from 6:00 pm until 7:30 pm assist with English, maths or moral education.
After 8:00 pm volunteers can do as they wish. They can do either go to their room or read or whatever.
